See how Lydia Lee, a corporate escape coach of Screw The Cubicle, works with MeetAnders to assist her in building her brand through intentional graphic design and help corporate prisoners start and build their own purposeful businesses.
We’re taking you through Lydia’s experience in brand marketing and how you can work with MeetAnders to engage your audience, convert them to paying customers while building your own brand.
It was 2016. we have been operating for a year, but I was ready to take it to the next level. I heard of Lydia’s gifts through a mutual friend, and luckily for me she happened to be conducting a group coaching session in Singapore. I snagged the opportunity to attend that session and request one-on-one coaching. And so, our journey together began.

GET IN TOUCH WITH LYDIA:
Lydia mentioned that she’s happy using Canva. But even with such an easy tool, knowing where to place her images and text to make the whole artwork the way she wanted was a big issue for her.
Realising she was spending way too much time meddling with Canva on her own, she commissioned me to help her redesign her worksheets.
Lydia thought of a brilliant idea: to create a set of templates such that she is able to reuse them over again with different content. Setting this up for her is in our priority because we understand the value of saving time and the importance of keeping every marketing material consistent visually. This helps her build her brand assets and allow more people to have deeper impression of her and what she does for the community.
What works for Lydia and Screw The Cubicle team is that, since they have monthly marketing campaigns scheduled, they just have to tell their personal designer from our team one time to design their assets each month and leave that to us!
This helps them to release time to focus on other important items, ones they ENJOY doing.
Lydia has worked with several designers in the past. Here are some of the obstacles she faced (from her perspective) and how MeetAnders removed them for her:
Having worked with thousands of graphic design requests over more than ten years, I realised many people are not looking for just highly talented designers. Rather they appreciate if their designers ask them relevant questions that serve a purpose to the design work.
Hence, it’s important for graphic designers not just to know their craft, but also to be responsive and ask the right questions. This combination always leads to great results for our customers.
With full reliance that our team is able to do the job on a daily basis and respond within a day, there’s less stress on Lydia to guess when her request for her design will be done or not.
On top of that, many hours are saved per month because now rather than haggling with a designer over the price of designing a graphic, Lydia is quickly beefing up her brand assets to engage her audience and convert them to paying customers much faster.
Various opt-in forms designed for content upgrades within blog posts.
You may have a niche, specific target audience, and a kick ass logo – but if you want to grow your brand and increase visibility, these things alone will only take you so far without intentional graphic design.
You may also have great content, a beautiful website, and sophisticated sales funnels. But again, these things, without consistent and visually appealing graphics for your brand, will simply will not be enough to grow your brand to its full vibrancy and potential.
At this stage, not only do you want your audience to see what you are sharing, you also want them to get in touch with you and learn more from you.
If you want such results, these are a few of the most important questions to ask yourself:
You have a library of professionally well-designed graphics, ready to post on Facebook and Instagram on a daily basis. What’s even better, as these graphics are being used, new ones are created regularly in this library and you can use them as and when you want to!
It’s as if your graphics are being produced automatically based on as many requests as you can ask for!
With an arsenal of visually attractive content ready to be posted every few hours, you are sure that your audience will “be in contact” with your brand so often that they can’t ignore you.
In her own business, Lydia is always looking for the best ways to help more people by presenting her content in a more appealing way. This is not to just make things look good, but most importantly, to trigger her audience to pick up her message, take action and achieve the results they want.
These are some of the key takeaways from her:
Well, of course Lydia has an eye for design, and she can create cool graphics too! She figured out early enough that it’s better to leave the graphic work to professional designers who are trained to do so.

Gone are the days when she had to DIY these graphics. As the founder, her time is too valuable for creating graphics.
Now she makes full use of her time creating great content, selling her coaching programs and building valuable relationships with other kickass founders.
